Leaving September 6th for Victor Colorado and I can hardly sleep at night.

Has anyone else seen a Bull with mistaken identity? Pretty sure this fella thinks he should taste like ground beef.

Headed to Colorado in 7 days.

He’s self-identifying as another species. Can’t shoot him now.

Headed for northern NM on 9/6. I'm not quite ready, but getting closer every day.

I have been hiking with my pack and want to know best way to deal with all the straps hanging down everywhere. Do you fold them over and tape together?

They sell rolls of Velcro band with one side hook and the other loop. Cut a piece as long as about 4X the width of the strap. Some straps might have a loop sewn in where this Velcro can be inserted. Either way roll up the strap and wrap the Velcro band around to attach to itself.

Exo calls them strap keepers: http://exomountaingear.com/shop/strap-keepers/

First search at Walmart came up with this where you could cut your own: https://www.walmart.com/ip/VELCRO-R-...Black/19535849

Tape them if you need them, cut them if you don't.

If you were hunting a private land late September New Mexico archery hunt with a guide what would you bring in your pack? Knife, Binos, range finder, wind checker, flashlight, rain jacket. Im in descent shape just never been Elk hunting and dont want to forget anything obvious, and I am looking for the must haves I dont know about. Was hoping to get away with a fanny pack instead of a back pack.
